LAFC vs San Diego Prediction and Betting Tips | August 31st 2025

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) will invite San Diego to BMO Stadium in MLS on Sunday. The visitors are at the top of the Western Conference standings with 53 points, 12 more than the Black and Gold.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions and were held to a 1-1 draw by Dallas last week. Son Heung-min broke the deadlock in the sixth minute, scoring his first goal for the Black and Gold. Logan Farrington pulled Dallas level seven minutes later.

SDFC saw their winning streak in the MLS end after three games last week as they were held to a goalless draw by the Portland Timbers. They failed to score for the first time in five league games and will look to return to goalscoring ways.
